On Road, Houston Drops Tucson, 8-3
The Houston Aquas polished off the Tucson Toros by the score of 8-3. The largest share of the credit belonged to second baseman Ian Paszek. Paszek was 3 for 4 with 3 singles. He scored 2 runs for the Aquas. The winning pitcher was 26-year old right-handed pitcher Antonio Equihua. He tossed 81 pitches over 5 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits. Houston is in first place in the Western Conference Felipe Solorzo Division with a record of 67-42.

Houston used the timely hitting of Nick Arciniega to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Aquas on top, 5-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Paszek attributed the win to his team's "tenacity."
